                      WORKING PEOPLE PAY THE PRICE

  (Ms. BROWN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BROWN. Mr. Speaker, how do we know if this President is working 
for us? He is working for us if we make over $4 million and are about 
to pocket a new tax cut of $300,000.
  He is working for us if we attend Great Gatsby parties at his club or 
plan to sip cocktails in his new White House ballroom.
  He is working for us if we bankroll his crypto schemes or pony up for 
Presidential pardons.
  He is working for us if we are wealthy, well-connected, and don't 
want the Epstein files to see the light of day.
  Mr. Speaker, if we are struggling to afford rent or groceries, if 
premiums are breaking our budget, he is not working for us. No, he is 
driving up our costs by imposing reckless tariffs and cutting SNAP, 
Medicaid, and ACA subsidies. This President works for the wealthy, and 
working people are paying the price.
